Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
Looks like my posts to the list itself began in early May 2008, though I know I lurked for quite a while before that. And apparently my first PUG entry wasn't until Jan 2009: http://pug.komkon.org/09jan/slides/IMGP3138.html But I was on time to make it into the first PDML Annual, with that same shot. And I've been in all subsequent ones. On Mon, Dec 19, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Collin B wrote: > Since people stay around here a long time I started to wonder ... > Who is the youngest member here?

The PUG archive is a fascinating tour through the past. What's interesting about the web is how it's a continually updated time capsule that one can consult any time. It's particularly fascinating to be able to go through the era during which photography made the transition from film to digital. When the PUG began in 1997 serious photography, even at the most basic amateur level, was a strictly analogue endeavour; digital cameras of the time were toys with hopelessly limited resolution and dynamic range. Look at those early galleries, made at a time when 400 x 600 pixels was a large online image (when the standard monitor had 600 x 800 resolution). I seriously hope there are good back-ups of the entire PUG kept because it's the kind of thing that will be of inestimable value to historians of future generations. ...and on that note I'd like to add that the PDML Photo Annual has similar value. I do wish we'd started it a few years earlier, so as to capture the height of the transition between film and digital (probably beginning with the Canon D30, which appeared in late 200/early 2001, and being "stick a fork in it" done by 2003 with the Pentax ist-D". But I doubt the print-on-demand publishing industry was quite up to speed at that time either. Still, we're planning on doing another Photo Annual for 2017. Start getting your best images ready. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
Yeah, I understand all that part. It's the technical details that continue to elude me. Most of the social media I don't use really doesn't work very well unless you have a smart phone. I don't have one & I don't see that I need one. That might change, but not today. My latest cell phone has a camera. Verizon gave it to me "free" and cut the price of my service plan to get me to give up my old cell phone. I've taken a picture with it. I don't have internet or texting or all that other smart phone stuff on my phone. It's just a basic flip-phone I have so I can make telephone calls. It took me almost an hour on the phone with Verizon's help desk to get the photo from the phone to my desktop (email inbox). I could have solved the problem more quickly by just going home & getting a camera, then coming back to the location & duplicating the photograph (static subject). The there's facebook. I don't have facebook because I have a bad attitude. When it first came out, I was bombarded by people telling me I *HAD TO HAVE* facebook, which pushed one of my hot-buttons. I get stubborn. I *DO NOT* have to have facebook, and I won't. You can't make me, so I ain't gonna'! Plus, I can hardly make heads or tails of Google+, so why would I want another one I can't figure out. I understand email & I understand Flickr. I'm good. On 12/23/2016 1:07 PM, P. J.

Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
Someone's comment prompted me to try to take a look at all of the PUGs from the beginning. A couple of things have come to my attention so far ...

Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
The first PUG was indeed revealed on April 1, 1997, on some of my personal server space, later transferred to the komkon server. It was just a few photos and each page was coded separately using my clunky HTML skills. In fact, for quite some time each gallery had to be coded, which explains the long gaps between some of them, leading to some grumblings in the ranks, which came to a head when I was in Little Rock, Arkansas, prepping for my mother's funeral in January of 1999. It was determined that I had my time priorities out of whack and I was booted from my post as first PUGmaster. All this was before I took over The List from Pentax, which happened during the Christmas/New Year transition from 2000 to 2001.

Re: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
Social platforms are easy to understand, you post images and messages to your friends, and the platform offers you a "free" location. The platform takes any information you post and monetizes it for it's benefit and makes oodles of money, and maybe retains all rights to your content. It's an easy to understand concept. You get a "free" service, they use it to sell you things and sell actually sell the online you to the highest bidder. It's a win-win for them.

RE: And an annual happy birthday to everyone
I found the list, yet hosted and supported by Pentax while either while choosing my first AF SLR (which also happened to be my first K-mount SLR), or shortly after buying one in 1997. (After choosing between Nikon N50, N70, and N90, and not liking the ergonomics of N50 (and not being able to afford N90), I bought Pentax ZX-5n, unseen, untried (unlike those Nikons), - purely based on the description. And I loved its ergonomics.) So, it makes me about 19. Regarding the age outside of PDML, - when I joined the list, I was probably the youngest one.
